Blizzard Entertainment announces Sam Raimi has signed to direct the
upcoming Warcraft movie. We can only hope it's the heroic red and blue Sam from
Spider-Man 1 & 2, and not the evil black-suited Sam from Spidey 3. Anyway, word
is: "Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have a shared vision for this
film and we searched at length to find the very best director to bring that
vision to life," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard
Entertainment. "From our first conversation with Sam, we could tell he was the
perfect choice. Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the
mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time.
We're looking forward to working with him to achieve that here."
